Akro-Mils 30220 AkroBins Plastic Hanging Stackable Storage Organizer Bin, 7-Inch x 4-Inch x 3-Inch, Red, 24-Pack

I had a few of these bins that I had purchased years ago, stacked up on my work bench. They did the job, but were always getting knocked over, and I had to shuffle through them to get at the contents. Then, one day I was at an auction, and I stumbled onto a bunch of the extruded aluminum track that these hang on, and bought it cheap. I went on line hoping I could get more of these bins, and was pleased to find that they still make them. However, its a good thing I got the track cheap, because the price has gone way up on these bins over the years. Two dollars a piece is a lot of money for a piece of molded plastic! So far I have several hundred dollars invested in bins and Im not done yet, but its hard to beat this storage solution for convenience, ease of installation, and content visibility, so I decided it was worth the money. I covered a 6x6 section of one wall in my shop with the track, and started sorting the roughly 20 years worth of parts, pieces and hardware that Ive accumulated. These bins are sturdy enough to support anything from nails to 3/4 hardware, are easy to position, remove and replace, have a sloped bottom in the front for ease of picking, and a nice slot for a card stock label. They come in a variety of sizes, but choose your colors carefully. Some colors are much more expensive than the red ones for some reason. Heres the real shocker ... I was surprised to find that Akro hasnt changed the shape or quality of these bins one bit since I bought the first ones many years ago, which is a big plus. They match perfectly, form, fit, function, and color, which is very rare nowadays. All in all, it was a big investment, but I was sick and tired of not being able to find what I needed when I needed it. These bins will improve my productivity, and hopefully, I wont have to keep running to the store to buy things I already have on hand. I took one star away for the price, but otherwise these bins are about as good a storage solution as you can get without going to steel...

BEEN USING THEM FOR YEARS

Great

These dont do much and dont have any moving parts. However, they do hold things and stack as designed.

These bins are plenty durable. Not flimsy. Yes, they bend a little, but once you lock them into your rail or rack, youll never notice. They do exactly what they should.

A box of 24 Akro-Mils Akrobins is exactly what you need to organize all those random nails, screws, IKEA furniture tools that you currently have scattered throughout your apartment or house right now.

No labels necessary with a direct view of contents. Even when they are stacked it is easy to see inside, however labels look easy to add as well with the provided slots in the front. Sturdy enough to hold heavy items without bending and still have the ability to stack. I like these because of the reinforced sides which adds quite a bit of stability when stacked.

When the price is right, these bins are hard to beat. They are well formed, rigid and have perfect dimensions. You can fill them to capacity and they will hang where you expect them to be: no drooping. The back lip is straight and the gap is always the same, unlike some imitations. You dont have to struggle to hang them. They also stack perfectly. Im no plastic expert, but the uniform appearance of the material when you shine light through makes me think that these guys will outlast me.

good quality and easy to use on shelves as it is very stable. I would stick with the transparent rather than colors.

Excellent bins, sturdy and hold a lot.
